I am considering coming over from the states to fly fish in the northern part of the South Island (Owens River  Lodge) in March. Do not know what is the best time to fish this region. Is March a very good time of the year to fish and have the chance of good dry fly fishing (hatch activity) - or considering the cost, wait till next year and fish another month that is much better. Would want to come out at the best time of year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, 
While I have not fished that area in March personally it is my favourite time of year to fish here in New Zealand. I am based out of Wellington and from my experience there you still get some dry fly action and the fish have put on some good condition. Could be a good idea to reach out to the lodge and see if they can tell you more and find out if it will meet your expectations.

All the best and hope you have a great time here when you make it
